EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fairview Hotel, between 1910 and 1917," showcases a scene of everyday life in America during the 1910s. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the exterior of the Fairview Hotel, with its distinctive signage and a bustling roadside food stall located nearby. A man in an apron stands proudly behind the counter of the food stall, serving customers with a warm smile. The stall, adorned with various signs, displays the slogans "Pepecual Motion," "Gold Dust Twins United We Stand," and "I will agree with you sister why do they want to break Fairview up for." Another sign promotes "Corby's Cake," adding to the enticing atmosphere. The man's attire, consisting of a simple shirt and apron, is a common sight for those working in the food industry during this era. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as people gather around the stall, engaging in conversation and enjoying the offerings. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of African American entrepreneurship and the vibrant culture that thrived during this period. The Fairview Hotel and its roadside food stall serve as a reminder of the importance of small businesses and the role they play in bringing people together. This evocative image, captured on a glass negative by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the experiences and stories of those who came before us.
